To encourage farmers to increase copra production, so that the increasing demand for coconut products can be met domestically and internationally.A relatively higher MSP will not only provide better profits to coconut growers but will also encourage farmers to increase copra production to meet the growing demand for coconut products domestically and internationally.
National Agricultural Cooperative Marketing Federation of India Limited (NAFED) and National Cooperative Consumers Federation (NCCF) will continue to function as Central Nodal Agencies (CNAs) for procurement of copra under the Price Support Scheme (PSS).
